Welcome to the ultimate sushi adventure in Adelaide, where even the pickiest little eaters will become sushi enthusiasts! Either that or they will continue to ask for sushi with no seaweed like my kids. Rice, my kids say they eat sushi but basically they just eat rice. However at Kids in Adelaide, we’ve embarked on a mission to uncover the city’s best sushi spots that cater specifically to kids (and their discerning taste buds). Prepare for a mouthwatering experience filled with laughter and ridiculous chopstick challenges that will have your little ones saying “arigato” in no time.

From colorful fish-shaped creations to bite-sized rolls bursting with flavor, eat in, take away, trains, restaurants and even sushi disguised as a burrito…..here are some of Adelaide’s best. PS No waiting, kid friendly options, eat with your hands….plus it’s (mostly) healthy for the win!    

Koyoto Sushi Rundle Mall Plaza

Hands down our favourite sushi in the Adelaide CBD. Located with the Level 1 eateries in Rundle Mall Plaza, this magnificent conveyor belt sushi has it all. Fresh sushi at great prices, an extensive Japanese menu comprising all of our classic favourites like Karrage Chicken and Miso Soup and more. The kids absolutely love it.

A must stop for Rundle Mall shoppers!

Sushi Hub – Sushi Go Round

Find Sushi Hub at each end of Rundle Mall and the added bonus of a sit down sushi Go Round at the Pulteney St end. 

We can’t go to the mall with out picking up an iconic takeaway sushi sandwich (yep TRIANGLES of sushi goodness) and now the Rundle Sqaure store has launched 45minute sit down unlimited sushi & sushimi for $36 (adults) $26 (children under 1.3m).

Sushi Burri

Is it sushi? Is it a burrito? IT’S BOTH!

Sushi Burri in Waymouth St, Adelaide is PERFECT for kids who might be a little aprehensive about trying sushi. They are Adelaide’s first sushi burrito & say it’s a “bigger, better version of your traditional sushi.” We can’t help but agree.

Plus it’s a super cool little shop – sit inside or enjoy the sun outside on a nice day.

Sushi Bar Genki

This one is on Gouger St in Adelaide, so you just know it’s gonna be good! Plus they do heaps more than just sushi, they serve a full range of Japanese food, including stuff your kids probably haven’t tried before (sea urchin, anyone?). Go for the sushi, stay for the scallops & sashimi. Yummo. 

Mugen Sushi Train

This one is in North Adelaide Village. Kids love booth seating, right & these big comfy booths are a hit! Our kids loved the good ‘ol Teriyaki Chicken, while we opted for some Tempura. Five stars all round!

Sushi Arari, Woodcroft

The little sushi store that could! Sushi Arari is in the Woodcroft Town Shopping Centre & doesn’t have much of a social media presence but they get HEAPS of great Google reviews which is always a good sign. Plus it’s always nice to support a small, family owned business. 

Be sure to head in next time you’re down south! 

Taki Sushi, Adelaide

Fresh and healthy, Taka Sushi in Rundle Place is great for sushi-lovers of all ages. It’s a convenient and inexpensive lunch without compromising on delicious, quality food. Us adults devoured the Spicy Katsu Chicken and the kids raved on about the tuna and avocado rolls. Check out their opening hours. 

Go for the sushi, but save room for some dumplings because… YUM!

Sushi Planet

Not gonna lie, we may have included this one more for the parents than the kids…..cause sushi + cocktails? UM YES PLEASE! 

Sushi Planet has been a staple of West Terrace in the city for a long time now. They do lunch, dinner AND free delivery if you order the minimum amount (which is never an issue in our house!). Perfect for grabbing on your way to or from town. 

Kintaro Sushi

Find their stores here: Adelaide – Norwood – Tea Tree Plaza – Brickworks – Colonnades – Elizabeth – Kurralta Park. Yep, that’s pretty much all of Adelaide covered!

  • Did you know that making sushi doesn't have to be expensive or complicated? Our kids love rolling up their sleeves (and their lunch) and I mean there are worse things in the world than a few bits of stray sticky rice around your kitchen right? We even whip this up fresh before school some mornings, to be honest it's usually the morning after we have chicken schnitzel for dinner, because that's my kids sushi go to - but you can load it with many versatile and easy fillings! Check it out - add a few ingredients to your next shopping list and get stuck in with the kids this World Sushi Day, or any day. Fill the lunch boxes or the dinner table. Got a train set? You could even make your very own sushi train. For the super health conscious, you could even use brown rice - but yeah, my kids are not eating that.

  • Let's talk about Adelaide's best pizza. We really have lifted the pizza benchmark over the past decade and kids *generally* love a slice of the good stuff don't they? It's quick, filling and often one of the more affordable take away options. Let's not forget cold left over pizza makes a brilliant school lunch box treat and you know the easiest way to feed friends, teenagers or energetic kids at a birthday party..... you guessed it, PIZZA! Pizza can be as sophisticated or as simple as the setting dictates, from fine dining through to sitting on the lounge watching trashy reality TV with a cardboard box on your lap. From eat in urban industrial warehouse venues to hole in the wall pick ups. It really is the perfect food. But where to find the best of the best, those pizza places you hear about from a friend of a friend, the pizza of legends! Well never fear, we have scoured the state to find some of the best pizza in South Australia. From franchise favourites through to traditional Italian fare, pizza lovers this is the post for you!
